Chapter 1893 - 201: The Transformation of Kunpeng, Breaking the Shackles Again!

Imperial Palace Vault.

With the Red Cloud Immortal Sword in hand, Jiang Ning’s gaze swept across the room.

The nine treasures guarding the vault, he could only choose one, while for the remaining two treasures, he had to select from the usual collections.

At this moment, his Divine Thought spread out like a tide, instantly encompassing every treasure in the secret room within his perception.

In an instant, most treasures were thoroughly understood by him, and he had already arrived at a general judgment in his heart.

Among these treasures, Cultivation Techniques, jade slips, Divine Weapons, and ancient artifacts were predominant.

There were no elixirs, and only a few pieces of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures containing rich energy were present.

His gaze then fell upon a red-colored mineral and a piece of completely blackened withered wood.

In his perception, the mineral contained a turbulent aura within.

While the piece of black wood appeared long dead, it held thriving vitality within.

He walked over to them.

Grabbing the red mineral, he then picked up the piece of completely blackened withered wood.

"These two it is!"

Granny Bai glanced without saying anything further.

"Since you’ve chosen, let’s head out!"

"Hmm!" Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

With a lift of his hand, the mineral and the piece of completely blackened withered wood were stored in his pouch.

Then, he followed Granny Bai’s footsteps, carrying the Red Cloud Immortal Sword, heading towards the steps they came from.

Xie Xun and Zhou Wenyuan also followed along.

Step by step, they ascended the stone steps, returning to the first floor inside the tower.

Granny Bai took out two tokens.

With a deep rumbling sound, the stone wall behind them slowly closed.

She retained one token and handed the other to Xie Xun.

Subsequently, they headed to the tower gate.

The moment they emerged from the tower, the noon sunlight slanted down, reflecting dazzlingly on the ground tiles.

"I won’t see you off too far, farewell!" Granny Bai spoke, then turned back into the tower.

"Prince, I shall escort you out of the palace," Xie Xun said, bowing to Jiang Ning.

"There’s no need, I’ll walk myself." Jiang Ning waved his hand, then glanced at Xie Xun and Zhou Wenyuan, "Gentlemen, we shall meet again."

As his words fell, Jiang Ning moved forward.

His figure flickered with each step.

In just a few breaths, he vanished from their sight.

It’s unwise to break through the air within the Imperial Palace.

Meanwhile, Xie Xun and Zhou Wenyuan watched Jiang Ning disappear.

"Lord Zhou, shall we?"

"Mr. Xie, together!"

...

In just a moment.

Jiang Ning arrived before the Vermilion Bird Gate, passing through the city gate.

It was already noon.

The sun overhead was scorching.

In front of Vermilion Bird Gate, there was no shelter.

The stone slabs had a faint heat wave.

Next moment.

Jiang Ning’s figure moved, a black and white rainbow light soared into the sky swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, he reached the Li Shui Palace.

Just as his figure settled, he saw a figure quickly approaching him.

"Prince!" The newcomer was Chen An, the steward of the palace.

He bowed with respect, "Prince, I have been waiting here for a long time!"

"What is the matter?" Jiang Ning asked.

"The rewards bestowed by the Holy Emperor have just been transported to the palace. Without your instructions, I had to have them moved to the island in the center of Li River, and sent people to guard them strictly," Chen An replied calmly.

"You’ve done well!" Jiang Ning nodded in approval.

"Moreover," Chen An added, "the general escorting the rewards also left you a message that if you have any other needs, just send someone to relay the message to the palace; the Holy Emperor will not refuse."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning chuckled lightly.

He knew these were mere polite words.

Whether they would be fulfilled depended.

From his knowledge, the current Imperial Family was not wealthy, and the National Treasury had long been depleted.

Earlier, he noticed the signs in the Imperial Palace Vault, clearly seeing that there used to be far more treasures stored than there are now.

"Without my orders, no one is allowed near the central island!" Jiang Ning said once more, then set off towards the palace.

"Yes, Prince!" Xie An bowed respectfully, watching Jiang Ning’s figure disappear.

...

Central island.

Upon Jiang Ning’s arrival, several teams of guards respectfully withdrew and boarded small boats, leaving the island.

Only Jiang Ning remained, standing in front of the iron boxes.

His gaze swept over the iron boxes; his Divine Thought had already penetrated them.

In them, rare minerals, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and elixirs were clear as day under his perception.

These resources may not be world-class wonders, but their quality was evidently not low.

"With this batch of resources, my strength should be able to climb another step!" Jiang Ning mused inwardly.

Then his gaze moved to the panel.

[Source Points]: 407.3

"Digesting this batch should be enough to break a thousand again!"

He thought to himself.

Next, he lifted his head, and golden light flashed in his hand, showing three gold tickets.

Each worth ten thousand taels.

Musing deeply.

The next moment.

His lips moved slightly, passing out his voice.

After completing this task, he opened one of the iron boxes.

In the iron box, minerals were piled up, containing sharp Geng Metal Qi within.

He slightly opened his mouth, a powerful suction erupted from within, resembling a Whale Swallowing dragon’s breath.

Each mineral was suddenly captured by the suction power and then continued to shrink, finally transforming into streams of light flying into his mouth.

Until the iron box was emptied, he then closed his eyes slightly, fully refining the minerals within his abdomen.

Time passed.

Repeating the steps.

Two more boxes were swallowed and refined by him.

Chen An piloted a light boat, once again appearing before him.

"Prince!" Seeing Jiang Ning expel a mixture of metallic fragments and impure energy from his mouth, Chen An suppressed his emotions, maintaining a respectful demeanor.
